Colorado Permit Practice Test 2

Correct answer: Substantially incapable of safe driving

DUI means the driver is substantially incapable of safely operating a vehicle. It is the more serious of Colorado’s two impaired-driving offenses.

Correct answer: Road signs, driving under the influence, driving rules, safety rules, and legal items from the handbook

The written test covers driving knowledge and safety. Its questions cover the contents of the handbook, including road signs, driving under the influence, driving rules, safety rules, and legal items.

Correct answer: Reverse gear

For a standard transmission, leave the vehicle in reverse when headed downhill and in low gear when headed uphill, along with setting the emergency brake.

Correct answer: Law enforcement, fire, maintenance and other emergency personnel, tow truck drivers, and you

The Move Over Law protects law enforcement, fire, maintenance and other emergency personnel, tow truck drivers — and you, the passing driver.

Correct answer: The vehicle on the left yields to the vehicle on the right

When more than one vehicle reaches the intersection at the same time, the vehicle on the left must yield the right-of-way and allow the vehicle on the right to go first.

Correct answer: Yield by backing up to a wider place to let the uphill vehicle pass

When the road is not wide enough for two vehicles, the vehicle going downhill must yield by backing up to a wider spot or turnout, unless it is more practical for the uphill vehicle to do so.

Correct answer: Slow down and stay behind the bicyclist until it is safe to pass

If you are unable to give at least 3 feet, slow down and remain behind the bicyclist until it is safe to pass with the required clearance.

Correct answer: Treat the intersection as a four-way stop

If a traffic signal is not operating or is malfunctioning, treat the intersection as a four-way stop.

Correct answer: 30 mph

Unless otherwise posted, the Colorado speed limit is 30 mph in any residence district and 25 mph in any business district.

Correct answer: Use hand signals, ending the signal before starting the turn so you can steer with both hands

If your turn signals do not work, you must use hand signals. End your hand signal before starting to turn so you can complete the turn with both hands on the wheel.

Correct answer: 0.08% or greater

A driver may be convicted of DUI per se if their BAC is 0.08% or greater. "Per se" means the BAC alone is enough for the charge.

Correct answer: An instruction permit, which allows limited driving privileges for people learning to drive

After passing a written test you are eligible for an instruction permit. An instruction permit allows limited driving privileges for people learning to drive.

Correct answer: Toward the curb, so the front tire rests against it

Headed downhill, turn your front wheels toward the curb and let the vehicle roll slowly until the front tire rests against the curb, using it as a block if the vehicle moves.

Correct answer: Slow or stop, turn, or speed up

There is almost always something you can do to avoid a crash or reduce its results. To avoid a collision, drivers have three options: slow down or stop, turn, or speed up.

Correct answer: An intersection with no control devices such as stop signs or traffic lights

An uncontrolled intersection is one that does not have control devices such as stop signs or traffic lights.

Correct answer: Pull off at the first safe place, or stay in the right lane so others can pass

If your vehicle has difficulty traveling up a steep roadway, pull off the road at the first safe place or stay in the right lane to allow faster vehicles to pass.

Correct answer: Considered vehicles with many of the same rights and responsibilities as motorists

Bicycles are considered vehicles on the roadway. People on bikes have many of the same rights, privileges and responsibilities as motorists and generally follow the same rules of the road.

Correct answer: The same as a stop sign — stop, then go only after yielding to pedestrians and other traffic

A flashing red light means the same as a stop sign. Stop, then go only after yielding to pedestrians and other traffic.

Correct answer: 25 mph

Unless otherwise posted, the Colorado speed limit is 25 mph in any business district and 30 mph in any residence district.

Correct answer: From the rightmost part of your lane, as close to the curb as possible

When turning right, turn from the rightmost part of your lane and as close to the curb as possible. To make a right turn, you must begin in the rightmost lane.
